Ever wonder what could happen when you “accidentally” pour your chemicals down the sink in lab? I know. My name is Kylie Canales, and I am the Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator for the City of Angola. My primary function is to monitor, sample, permit for and treat all the nasty chemicals that end up in the sewers. Pretreatment programs are a highly involved process that chemical engineers are involved in setting up and running. Through blogging, I hope to inform other chemical engineers how to stay within the ever increasing EPA restrictions for their facilities.
